I had a chance to hang out with my Uncle Felix today for a few hours at his home in Bastrop. Felix is a movie director in Los Angeles, Ca. You name it he has worked on it. When it comes to photography who better to ask for advice. Felix doesn’t like to sugar coat it so when you ask for advice be ready for the answer. Sometimes when I need a little kick in the butt or I feel like I am being lazy I give him a call or go see him. By the time I get done talking to him I feel energized artistically and motivated. Felix hasn’t gotten to were he is by watching his step and worrying about what the heck other people think. He has wanted to work in film since he could remember and he didn’t let anything stand in his way.

Vinny Lombardo aka Pilot Touhill is from Los Angeles, Ca. I have been listening to Vinny’s music for several years now and he always seems to amaze me every time. Pilot Touhill has two albums out “Black Leaf” and his new sophomore album “Rich As A King”. I highly recommend getting both. Vinny has some great songs from I’M CONFESSING, EAZY, GOOD MORNING and RICH AS A KING just to name a few. What I like about Pilot Touhill is that he is not afraid to experiment. His influences are present on his albums, from hip hop to blues and electronica and even the soulful grooves of SUNSHINE SUNNY. Great hooks and beats that just make you want to take the day off from work and go to the beach or take a drive down PCH. The future is bright for Pilot Touhill. The sky is his. www.myspace.com/pilottouhill
